I find, as I get older, that I can't be bothered with excess politeness...
...much better to say what needs to be said, without actually being rude.
Bah! Humbug!

reme101, Ben's post wasn't defamatory at all. If you followed all of his SVA threads, you would realise that he wasn't accusing
anyone of actually making up the rules, but more of an exasperated expression, as in, on SVA test 1, the steering wheel was a fail, on SVA 2, the same
thing was a 'pass'....... I cannot see anything remotely malicious in Bens post.
I cannot see any practical reason for the origin of this thread to be honest. If anyone has a problem with a poster's 'tone' than
surely it is better to try and sort it out one to one by u2u.

Hi Fozzie.
I wasn't having a dig at Ben and i do see his point at being frustrated at Test 1 / test 2 etc.
My post was trying to warn him of the legal implications of actually putting down in black and white that the car in front of him passed when it
shouldn't, can nobody else see that??
We all know that IVA examiners read these posts, so, Mr VOSA reads that someone passed when he shouldn't, finds out which station and traces the
test, turns up at the owners door and informs him that he has to undergo a new test (IVA now) the vehicle is no longer registered (I don't know
if that can happen) how would that owner feel ?

Neither can I.
The post was put up and some of the replies are having a dig at me, directly or not, so I respond and it only makes matters worse.
I apologize if I have offended anyone and if I do stay on the forum I will try to make my posts a little more tactful.
Dave.

There are no legal implications. The post in question did not identify the testing station, the tester concerned or the vehicle being tested. There
are, therefore, no legal implications. If you're going to give legal advice, make sure you're qualified to do so. And yes, I am.

It can't happen, so it appears you were addressing a problem that doesn't exist. And since the testing station wasn't identified,
the tester wasn't identified, and the car being tested wasn't identified, in addition to changing the law to allow VOSA to rescind MACs,
they'd have to have psychic abilities. And last time I checked, even VOSA testers didn't claim to have those particular skills.

In that case, welcome and hello and I hope you stay around. I doubt many posters object to straight-talking, but there is a dividing line between
that and being gratuitously offensive, and most people can identify that line. But what the hell, life's too short, live and let live...

duly noted
But it does mention the testing station in the original post
quote:
Had my test at Gillingham in Kent. My first test and the tester said my steering wheel was not type approved, radius were ok.
On my retest i was already to fit my Sierra steering wheel after passing all the other bits. Tester says oh dont bother that wheel is not a fail
anyway.... WTF either it is a fail or it isn't.
Think they just make it up as they go along.
Then the next car they passed on Noise test even tho it was several decibels above the limit.
If you do a search you can find when his original test was carried out and where he lives.
And finally can admin delete this whole thread so it can be forgotten and we can all move on ??

I thought I had replied sufficiently earlier, and lightened it up a bit with the help of SB (ta mate ).....but it seems as though it was in vain...
I am loathe to delete threads as you all know.....so....I will close it for now......and 'maybe' delete later....
